Sandbox

Oh, I love the dirt pile idea! We have been digging in my garden a ton looking for worms etc but now that are digging up my flowers etc as they are popping up. Good compromise!

We have a big sand box and it is a favorite play place. It is kept covered and I do use play sand in it. After checking out the MSDS from the sand I buy and doing a bit of online "research" (lol) I feel totally okay with our sandbox.
We also have a pile of topsoil in the yard (the "dirt pile") which is even more loved than the sandbox....I can only imagine what the experts would have to say about that! Luckily all the parents I work with are pretty easy going

Thank you SongSparrow. Worth copying out this info to have on file should a paranoid parent come concerned about a sandbox. Thought it sounded kind of funny considering the number of beaches around the world.
